Licensed Clinical Social Worker

The inability to manage one's anger can be very problematic when trying to negotiate everyday life. Anger management becomes necessary when you experience loss of control. It is my intention to help clients recognize their anger triggers and the feelings associated in order to process them before it becomes inappropriate. It is of paramount importance for the angry person to recognize how his/her anger effects those around them in order to help them recover.

Amy Rosenberg, PsyD

Licensed Psychologist

I have spent many years working with individuals who believe they are "unable to control myself and my anger". One of the best parts of my job as a psychologist is to assist people in recognizing that they are able to change, more than they had ever anticipated. Although each and every individual struggles with anger at some point, it becomes particularly hard to manage when it interferes with work, relationships, or other important areas of functioning. I have found that treatment can be particularly helpful with identifying triggers, finding effective ways of coping with anger, and learning how to express oneself and feel heard. In doing so, I have found great success in this area.

Psychotherapist

Anger is a reaction to other intense emotional feelings such as sadness, powerlessness, fear and humiliation. It's a way to protect ourselves, yet when not resolved often leads to isolation and loss of significant relationships. Anger management is not only about learning the skills to keep better control and "manage" these feelings more effectively, but uncovering the core issues that are fueling that anger.

Hal Brickman, LCSW, RCSW, CSW, MSW, CHT

New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker

My main approach is to help my client identify situations (contexts), people, behaviors (his and others) that seem to usher in varying degrees of anger. My main message is that anger is an appropriate feeling to loss and frustration, but it is his learning to appropriately express anger in an adaptive manner that leads to emotional growth and the mollification of the anger itself.

Kristin Schaefer Schiumo, Ph.D.

Licensed Psychologist

Anger is a completely normal, often healthy, emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the quality of your overall life. You cannot avoid all the situations or people that anger you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions to them. We will work to reduce the intensity of your emotions and the physiological arousal that anger causes you, through the use of strategies such as cognitive restructuring, relaxation, problem solving, improved communication, humor, and changing your environment.

Patricia Pitta, Ph.D., A.B.P.P.

Clinical and Board Certified Family Psychologist

Anger is a natural and normal use of emotion that helps you get in touch with that which you are feeling. The problem is that most people don't express their anger and let it build up. Then they express themselves through rages, screaming and just being out of control. Relationships become compromised and resentment and bitterness grows. To stop the pattern, you need to first learn to relax your mind and body. Second, you need to identify what is making you angry. Third, role play expressing your feelings in a positive manner. Fourth, learn to listen other's responses to your statements. Fifth, negotiate with calm to resolve the situation. Relax, think, before you respond.
